About Madsen
Madsen come from the village of Prießeck in the Wendland region of Lower Saxony. The band are led by brothers Sebastian Madsen on vocals, Johannes Madsen on guitar and Sascha Madsen on drums, with Niko Maurer on bass.
Their self-titled 2005 debut and the single 'Die Perfektion' brought them a national audience, and Goodbye Logik followed in 2006. Their lyrics deal with love, small-town life and restlessness in plain everyday German, set to driving indie rock with a punk edge.
